Saving settings when turning off the camera.

Hello, I have a Nex 5r and I ask you something I don't find in the manual.
I'm looking for a way to decide which settings the camera should keep when turned off and which not, like AF-mode, ev compensation, etc.
On my older camera this was possible but I don't find the option in the nex menu, and every time I turn on shutter delay or similar I continue to forget it the next time I turn on the camera.

No way to do that on the NEX-6. But I try to keep the LCD screen on "For Viewfinder" display, which shows only the shooting setup, no image. That way I can quickly scan the settings when I turn on the camera, and hopefully catch some bonehead error before I make it.

Ya, I voiced this as a desire. Unfortunately there is no such option. It will remember your last setup, but nothing else.

My last camera had the option to save three different "settings."

Same here...my camera has 3 "Custom" settings plus, it remembers whatever I left it at on "M". It's pretty awesome, I basically, have a Custom mode set up for indoor shots, one for long exposures and one for something else (I can't remember, I just woke up haha). It's awesome when I'm travelling and go inside a church or something, then just spin from M to C1 and I'm instantly on high ISO, open aperture, slow-ish, but hand-holdable shutter speed...go back outside, back to M and we're at low ISO, fast shutter speed and f5.6-ish.
